# teamchong/pxpipe

> A local proxy for Claude Code that renders bulky context (system prompt, tool docs, older history) as PNG images to cut input token usage. It only rewrites requests, never the model's output.

- Magnitude: 1.3 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 7,446 total · +0 stars on 2026-09-27 (UTC), ≈ 6 by evening

## Useful for

- Run the proxy and point Claude Code at it via ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to lower the token bill.
- Export sources or a git diff to PNG pages with pxpipe export for uploading into image-capable clients.
- Check token savings in ~/.pxpipe/events.jsonl before enabling compression permanently.

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 6 expected by the end of the day.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
